One of my favorite free-time activities is playing sports, particularly basketball. I often engage in this activity at the local park with friends during the weekends, and we usually play for a couple of hours. I love basketball because it combines physical fitness with teamwork, making it both exciting and rewarding. Unlike my best friend's favorite pastime, which is reading, playing sports allows me to be more active and socialize. While both activities provide an escape from daily life, basketball offers a thrill that reading doesn't, although my friend enjoys the adventures found in stories. Overall, I find that the energy and camaraderie of sports create a unique experience that I prefer over quieter pastimes.
